4.9/5 (23465 ratings)

Description:Fortune Favours the Bold is the true story of Comair, one of aviation’s greatest successes in the most demanding but exciting marketplaces. By mastering “the art of bonding brand promise and delivery”, Comair’s 60 unbroken years of profit are exceptional in an industry traditionally plagued with volatility and troubles.From roots in World War II, through the early post-war period and turmoil of the Cold War era, through conflicts and liberation struggles to the present, this account traces Comair’s role in the evolution of air commerce in southern Africa and beyond. Based on 25 years of research and exclusive access to company archives, this well-illustrated history is interspersed with capsule commentaries, often coinciding with some of the region’s most tumultuous and significant periods. It also details the close influence of celebrated political leaders, executives, jurists, financiers and visionaries including Jan Smuts, David Ben-Gurion, Harry Oppenheimer, Howard Hughes, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands and many others.The volume has its share of bizarre and amusing moments too. It debunks a number of myths and mysteries. It covers such milestones as the African campaigns of World War II, the 1947 visit of the Royal family, the birth of the Israeli Air Force, the era of independence and nationhood, apartheid and sanctions, the accident involving Mozambique President Samora Machel, public policy and liberalization, the election of Nelson Mandela, acquiring a world-first British Airways’ franchise, and black economic empowerment.From time to time, remarkable stories of achievement appear in the literature and this is one of the best records of an independent aviation group ever produced. It is an exclusive insight into the complex world of commercial aviation, public policy and international relations. It will doubtless be of interest to industry experts and students of business, law and political science, aviation and military historians, owners and operators of aircraft, and everyone drawn to Africa’s mystique.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
